Power cord for Technics SP-10MkII


I have Technics SP-10MkII in Albert Porter plinth. I bought it with stock power cord for the power supply.
Can anyone share their experience using aftermarket PCs on the Technics PS? Do they make any difference in that position?
And how significant the differnce is?

I've always been of the opinion that this is one of the last places to spend money on a fancy power cord. As long as juice is flowing and the power supply is keeping accurate speed what's the difference? Having said that, I must admit I've never tried a $2000 power cord on an SP-10. I know Albert is of a different opinion and he has tried it.
Maril555,
The cover in my system picture was made by a guy named Norm at Stereo Squares. Supply him with your dimensions and the points for cutouts at the back.
I have not tried a Dynavector on the 312s. I love the SME arm but the big problem of course is the lack of slots in the headshell. To use the Mint, it has to be designed specifically for the stylus to mounting hole distance for each cartridge. You'll have to get a different Mint for each cartridge you use on that arm. Alternatively, you could use a universal tractor such as the Wally (good luck on that one) or the Fiekert. I've gone down the Wally path. Fiekert is way more of a sure thing.
