Did you try switching the channels to be sure it isn’t your amp? 
Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100?
After owning 3 different  and each more expensive Magnum Dynalab tuners, I finally found the holy grail (for me) in a McIntosh MR88 FM HD tuner.  Very analog sounding without rolled off highs.  I listen to it 4-6 hours a day in my office.  
ARC Ref 75 SE issues?
It isn't that they aren't reliable, they very much are.  It is when a tube fails and takes out other parts inside the amp.  Most manufacturers use a fuse for the tubes but ARC chooses not to for a purer signal.  If another manufacturers tube amp f...

Torus RM60 BAL vs Richard Gray Powerhouse
If you are getting flickering lights and only 110 volts at times out of your wall outlet, you would be better off with a PS Audio Power Regenerator. It will clean up the line and give you a steady 117 volts.  You may be able to grab last years mod...
