I think this is an interesting question which deserves a better answer 
then the ground loop discussion.

The Tentec is a solid state amplifier and the SB220 is using tubes.

In general tube amps are more lineair then solid state.

I would try to measure them on a spectrum analyzer to see if there is a 
different in produced spectrum.
Based on that you might consider an additional filter on your amplifier.

Most likely the cheapest solution is some kind of ferrite around the 
wires of the light.
