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!

Morrow Audio phono cables are very clear and quick, I use a PH-4 to good effect.
Igraber, The shielding is very adequate , I live 3 miles from a powerful FM tower and no problem.
I used them on a Project Xpersssion and a Sony PS-X7 modded with RCA outs which is quite a decent table .
They just play music better than any stock cord I ever heard
and have no flaw I hear. Imagine they would work on anything.
