Excessive Static

HELP! Bought a Technics 1200G turntable with VDH DDT2 Special, with VDH Grail SE, Distributer from Van Den Hul/  EMM Labs is here. He helped me get the table dialed in. His main focus was to bring me a pair of Emm Labs MTRX2s, they are simply AMAZING!!! The problem is with the TT, everything grounded, way too much static!! Its 7am and I'm wondering what the hell is going on?? Freaking out! Any input will be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

I was getting static popping 3-4 min into the record! It was like a knife in my ears! Cleaned everything brand new albums, paper sleeves suck!

I had a very similar situation with static on brand new albums. Turns out the settings on my phono stage were set too high.
