Any success transferring Vinyls to computer?
I rip all the time. I have a full function pre-amp. Tape out>Mac Mini. As for software, I use: "CD Spin Dr." It was bundled with "Toast & Jam" from Roxio. I've also used "Audicity". Once ripped, I use iTunes to convert the files into a form... 
What city do you live in?

Amplification to B&W 800 Diamond
I am using VTL 450MKII amps with my older BW 801 Series 3 and love the combination. Think about high powered tube amps. I've used Bryston and Classe high powered amps and always returned to tube amps. 
Favorite Genesis Tracks?
Huge Classic Genesis (Peter Gabriel) fan here. For me "Trick Of The Tail" is the last of the so called Classic Genesis, even thou its has Phil on vocals. I like all their LP's but I prefer the peter years. Peter is playing in Las Vegas this Friday...

Inexpensive Tube Pre?
I've got an older Jolida 1000A integrated amp in a second system. It has 12AX7's and EL-34's. It really has that sweet as syrup presentation. I have never heard their pre-amp devices. 
Cartridge for Rega
AT 150, it has a user replaceable stylus and drop down stylus cover. 
the best 'tubey amp - warm,smooth,liquid' ?
I agree with Hifigeek. Look into EL 34 based amps. I have a older Jolida 1000 integrated amp in a second system and it's sweet as syrup with great inter detail.
