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 felt like an idiot posting this thing in the first place, but the arrangement of the power & other connectors should have been changed years ago.

This is exactly why I think it makes sense to use a quality aftermarket power cable on the 1200G/GAE.  The power cord is in such close proximity to the phono cables, I have to think that high quality shielding on both cables is critical.  I use a Shunyata Venom digital cable to power the deck.  I don't think it impacts motor performance in the slightest but it should minimize noise/interference.

@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.
