Never a good idea to stack like that, but we gotta do what we gotta do. Electric motors make electric fields. Preamps are especially vulnerable, phono stages even more so. Distance is your best protection. If you can rearrange to move the preamp lower and farther away that will help even if stuff winds up being stacked simply because it will move the phono stage further away.
Next thing you can do is shield. Vinylzone has one way with the copper sheet. Another is to shield the motor itself. Another is to shield the phono section, or even the whole preamp. Shielding can be anything conductive doesn't have to be copper sheet doesn't even have to be solid. Sheet metal is used inside a lot of preamps to shield the phono section. You can also try battery grounding strap, which is braided tinned copper. Battery strap is fairly cheap and can be cut up like fabric. You could also search for Faraday fabric, more expensive but a lot better looking.
Keith Herron suggested aluminum foil as a cheap and easy test. Never tried it myself but, Keith Herron, worth a shot.
Any of these whatever you try will work better grounded to earth ground- your AC ground will do fine. Just not grounded to the preamp.
