Need a power cord for Garrard 301.

I'm looking for a descent power cord for a restored Garrard 301. It should be light weight so it doesn't tug on the motor and it would be nice if it was unterminated to save me the trouble. I don't think anything fancy is necessary or even all that helpful for a Garrard, but my experience is limited. What are you using?

Dan: beautiful 401! Plinth is already made without a spot for an IEC (and I won't/can't do it myself).

David: amazing systems! You're probably right, I'm overthinking this.

Thanks JT, I appreciate your comments. A lot of hard work and time was spent, to get the plinth to where it is today.

Keep us posted, maybe provide a link to some photos when it's done.

Regards,
Dan

Suggest a Pangea cord from audio advisor. They are very reasonable and you can get free shipping. They also have a return policy. Talking 60 bucks.

I put one on a VPI Scout and it greatly reduced noise. Did a lot to increase soundstage and made everything better. I think its the best value I have ever come across. It is also light and won't move your motor.

Some say it makes things too bright. It did do that for about a day and then it calmed down in my system. I would be surprise if you could do better under 100 bucks

Darkstar, I don't for a minute doubt your subjective impressions, but I can't figure out how a power cord on a belt drive tt (especially a belt drive) could "reduce noise", "increase soundstage", or make things "too bright". Stranger things are reported in audio, however.
