Usually I keep other equipment away from the TT and I make sure that the phono amp and head amp are away from everything too. However, I did attach a small SMPS to the TT, close to the tonearm for a small USB lamp that sits over the record, for nighttime listening and it made no difference in noise, as far as I can tell. It would probably be a different story with a linear power supply though.
Sticking a metal sheet or some copper tape to the underside of the TT and connecting it to the mains earth would act as a shield. This could be an option, if you did hear an increase in noise.

Would lead not work? Or is that just for radiation?
I really rate those little Amptastics, have one myself. Dunno about remotes though - maybe other makes come with one. Will the ir signal pass through the T/T cover?
