Try plugging the phono stage into the same outlet as the receiver. Better yet plug into the receiver if it has outlets. Grounding the table may or may not help. Tracking down hum is a process.
Static, right. Grounding doesn't really help. Humidity is a factor. Ordinary anti-static spray for clothes works great for me. Spray a little so it wafts around but not over or onto the record, around the turntable- and everything else for that matter. I waft it over my cables, all interconnects, phono-stage and amp, the works, every time. Blacker background, cleaner and more detailed with less grain and glare. At $6 for 5.5 oz its a bargain.
