Disconnect everything from the gear except your amp and the monitors. If you don't hear the noise connect one piece of gear at a time until you isolate the noise source.

Another thing you can do is to make sure that all power cords are kept away from patch cables. You could be getting EMI and RFI from the cables.

Get rid of that @#$% Behringer mixer. Thats more than likely your problem :!: Also check the grounding of your turntable again. I still think it's your mixer though. Behringer mixers are cheap Mackie imitations and they are noisey as hell.
