@ten_ton_bass I had several turntables. Always stock cord. It powers the motor. As long as the motor is working as designed you are good.
And by the way, I use Nordost and Audience power cables throughout my system where they matter - digital, preamp, amps. I’m not one who’ll tell you power cords make no difference. But where you’re looking to upgrade is equivalent of expecting your car to perform better if you’re wearing a more expensive cologne while driving it.
