Extension cord advice

I am trying to find an extension cord solution for both my turntable and phono preamp. I am using a Furman that is unwieldy and my wife hates. Wondering if there's a good option with a smaller footprint, or whether an ordinary multi-input extension cord from Home Depot would be acceptable. Please advise!

Thanks for all the responses. I'm using a Furman SS-6. Is there any real benefit to this over an extension cord?

Here are the only advantages over an extension cord.

6 outlets that are circuit breaker protected and EMI/RFI noise attenuation.

I am not super concerned about surge protection -- is there much benefit to noise attenuation given that I'm not using a true conditioner?
