How to replace hardwired stock power cord ?

Get your IEC socket first so you know what size you need, then use this:

It will take a lot of work and patience. Though honestly, you'll have better results if you forego using detachable cords and replace with a high quality shielded cable like this:

Check the diameter to make sure it will fit. You may need to ream the original hole. Make sure to get the right grommet so you don't have the cabling touching bare metal.

Best,
Erik

I should have mentioned; observe where the existing cord's, "hot"(narrow) and, "neutral"(wider prong) conductors are connected, just to cover the bases.  

Erik - you said better results if I forego using detachable cords and replace with a high quality shielded cable......while practically everyone else says to get high quality detachable power cords. 

However I must agree that the cable you suggested - indeed a high quality and well shielded cable if installed well - should make a very good well shielded high quality and very affordable power cable.  This would eliminate the need for the IEC connector and works on the chassis right ? All I need a good mains plug - my job is done right ? - at least pertaining to the power cord section? 

When you have time - do have a look at this link - suggest the mains plug.   https://www.futureshop.co.uk/furutech-fi-1363-n1-l-shape-angled-uk-mains-plug-copper


rodman99999 - points well noted. thank you!

Erik - I found two options at site..... https://www.partsconnexion.com/dh-labs-bulk-ac-power-cable.html

12 & 14 AWG cable.....if I can open up my player - and get it connected direct - all I need is then just a suitable power mains plug. 

Please do recommend a suitable power mains plug - please.

Thanks 

Here's hoping you'll realize somewhat of an audible improvement, using that cord, in either gauge.    Far as AC plugs, Parts Connexion has a variety:   https://www.partsconnexion.com/ac-power-schuko.html
