NAD vs. Cambridge for Paradigm Atom speakers?
The NAD C326BEE is excellent. That would be my choice. 
Analog dilemma
IMHO, the Audio Technica AT150MLX is one of the best values in a MM cartridge available. I've tried the Shure and found the AT to be much better. The Denon DL110/DL160 are also very good.

VTL 2.5 preamp not too shabby
Wendell,What preamp did you go to? Thanks. 
Comments on Dire Straits Re-mastered LPs?
I also agree that these new reissues are very fine indeed. I have the Japanese pressings too, they are quite nice. 
Does 21g seem high for effective tonearm mass?
There's no way that the Jelco SA-750e has an effective mass of 21 grams. My Zeta arm is 16 grams and is MASSIVE compared to the Jelco. Maybe they gave you the weight in some weird Japanese measurement?

They look like some of the early Altec speakers to me.

Sota Sapphire iii power supply cable needed
It's been awhile, but I recall that the power cable was captive, (attached) and came from the table. It then plugged into the power supply. You might check inside/underneath the table to see if the cable was put in there for storage.
