Conrad Johnson 140 or 12A monoblocks?
I would go with the 12 - more musical and in sinergy with the rest of your system. 
Integrated for B&W 805 Signatures

Which is best American Amp in $1500-2000 range?

I second the Arcam Solo recommendation or the Linn all-in-one box (Classik). 
Recommend relatively obscure high end tube preamps
I sold my Gryphon Elektra some years back and still regreting it, it was one of those few components where one could easily forget about the "boxes" letting the music "wash you over".Other that comes to my mind is the Metaxas Oppulence preamp, gre...

I have had many passive preamps but none of the ones you are considering.The best for me have been First Sound Passive and Axiom.Hope this helpsFernando 
What to buy with $2000?
Just for the sake of trying something diiferent (and will not cost you a lot while you decide) ---- please try an Axiom Passive preamp ($125.00 us). I received mine some days ago (sold my Premier10) and is just doing great.Regards(ask for the cadd... 
Tracking Force for Denon DL-103r
I agree with the note on placing no more than 2.3 gms to the Denon, and i took me more then 75-100 hours for full break-in.Should it be the extra copper on the r?, I don´t know.RegardsFernando
