Somehow you are not getting a voltage signal from your turntable/cartridge to your preamp, or there is a problem somewhere else inside your system. Have you tried using a CD player or FM tuner or tape player or some other source to see if you get sound from your speakers? If it is the turntable, did you check connections to your cartridge and to your preamp? It could be that the cartridge died. You are hearing the sound of the needle in the record, which is an analog of the voltage your cartridge puts out, hence the name "analog". You need to isolate which piece of equipment is not working.
my beautiful table isn't behaving after our move
i am the happy owner of a sonographie sg-3 turntable w/grado cartridge and a luxman amp r-3045. oh and some niles indoor/outdoor speakers. normally i use the system to listen to 2 things: digital downloads/movies and vinyl. my usual setup is monster ipod cable into the aux, phono cables into phono, and it's all fine. but now, the phono seems like it's just not connecting. i can "hear" the music coming from the player (it spins, seems balanced, needle makes contact, faint sounds coming forth) but it's not getting through to the speakers somehow.
anyone want to help this newbie out? i feel like the solution is right in front of me but i keep going around in circles.
my materials to work with are:
radioshack a/v selector
a spare LR-to-LR cable
