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 haven't personally tried different cables on a 1200g, but I remember a Stereophile article where they reference using an AudioQuest Thunder with the 1200g.

"AudioQuest Thunder with the 1200g” what was the reason other than promoting third party cable?

I have the GAE & a firm believer in cables. My table is 12' from my conditioner & I made my own cord. I have to say, it didn't make a difference, not that I thought it would. I also have an outlet under my table, but chose to keep my system separate from the house current. I just used Furutech plugs.
