Phono Stage, Cables, etc for VPI Scoutmaster II?

I have a VPI Scoutmaster II on the way with Ortofon 2M Black cartridge, and wanted to get some input on matching up some components:

1. Phono cables? (under $500)
2. Power cord? (under $500)
3. (Cheap) Dustcover (but not a plastic bag!)
4. Phono stage? ($1200 or less)

I like detailed, clean, fast, and musical sound. Right now my system is teetering on the edge of too much warmth (downstream from the VPI I have a tubed BAT preamp and either a pair of tubed mono blocks or a Pass Labs x150 solid state amp.)

thanks!

2. Whatever you get, make sure the IEC isn't too big or it will interfere with the back leg on that side. I wouldn't spend too much money. It's just feeding a motor.

4. All kinds of good ones in that $ range. I have a Trigon Vanguard II, and it is nice.
