How to upgrade "power cord" on turntable with wall wart?
The thing is, some turntables (e.g. many Project ones) require non-DC power supplies, in which case you're stuck with the supplied wallwart or a very close equivalent.

None of it is the best, because it's not precisely tuned to your two individual ears.
