Phono Hum w/ Pro-Ject Debut III

I am experiencing phono hum with my Debut III. Phono leads are going into my phono inputs in my Sunfire Theater Grand II. I think I am getting AC feedback from cable routing in the back of the system. The ground wire is connected from the TT to the Sunfire. I started moving the phono leads away from the AC lines and the hum has lessened but it is still there. Is there a good way (material) to shield the phono leads without changing out the leads themselves?

This may help and it might not but, worth a shot. I have heard that many cable companies use a PTFE shielding in the cable itself. This can be also found as teflon tape or plumbers thread tape. It is white PTFE tape. I used this to shield a cable I was having hum problems with and it helped it significantly. Give it a shot. Teflon tape can be found at any hardware store for cheap.
