power cable male plug ends

Argh
I recently purchased a vpi sds - with the 'new' iec connector that is recessed, which means my fancy audiophile cords won't fit when I try to plug into the unit...
I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a manufacturer that produces a more standard, yet still hi-fi-ish male end...I could make my own cord, or modify an existing one. I have checked the usual sources (amd may have overlooked something, so please chime in) - furutech, etc, and no-one seems to carry such an animal.
The recessed cutout on the sds measures a tiny 1.25" x 1.25"
appreciate any input...thanks
