Power cord effect on turntables

I have a VPI Scoutmaster that is plugged into a Walker Precision Motor Controller. I am using the stock power cables and the Walker is plugged directly into the wall which is on a dedicated circuit with its own ground. I am getting a Shunyata Hydra 8 V2 and I will then plug the Walker into that. My question is, does it matter if I upgrade the power cords on the Walker or the VPI? It would seem to me that since the Walker is precisely regulating the speed and the motor on the VPI is detached, that it shouldn't make a difference. Does anyone with more experience with this have any advice?

Well, if the powercord is better shielded, then it may make an improvement.
The motor controller for my Kuzma usues a detachable cord. i use a Pangea because it is shielded really well.
An ordinary cord may have zero shielding, and could add various spurious distrotion into the motor, which just MIGHT radiate that emf field out into the cart...
Not saying it WILL, but it could.

Well, now we have the conflict between 'believers' and nonbelievers..popping up.
When someone ROTFLMAO with a qupte from one who finds the cord does a lot of good..??

We all have different experiences. Why is it neccessary to insult someone elses?
