SL-1200 G Power cable


On hooking up my new Technics SL-1200G I started out plugging in a nice new DHLabs 1-meter power cable and then found out it wasn’t getting any juice. I guessed contact wasn’t being made with that awkward plug port so I just plugged in the stock cord and all was well. The smaller plug did the trick and all seems great, but is it worth fooling with this further for just a TT? It’s plugged into a Niagara 1200 so how much do I need to worry about radiation to or from this cable?  It’s all about the stupid plug size.  Sorry about this stupid question!

I had the same problem with my SL1200G. I had a short Shunyata IEC extender which allowed me to plug it into the turntable connector and used a Shunyata Copperhead power cord for the power.  I had both in my cable drawer so I figured what the heck.  I have had it that way since 2018. 

@howardlee , @ericsch , Same here, a real PITA.  I believe the newer models have them on the back of the plinth.

@howardlee,  you are correct, it is the lower cost models that have connections on the back of the plinth now.  The SL1200G hasn’t changed their location.
