No sound coming from spekaers - turntable?

Okay, if you've seen my previous question, I'm aware I sound like an idiot here, but I figured the belt thing out. apparently I had to leave it on the platter and not the turntable itself.

Anyway, I've come across another problem. The platter spins, I can hear the cartridge tracking the record, all cartridge wires are connected and in the correct spots, I've set the tracking force/alignment to an approximately accurate value (without the help of a gauge, which might have been the source of the problem, but I doubt it).

All cables from the turntable to the amp (which is a NAD C315BEE integrated amp) are connected.

All cables from the amp to the speakers (Wharfedale Diamond 10.1). Unless I'm missing something and the speakers have a hidden power button, everything is fine.

Except...no sound is coming out of the speakers. None at all. I can hear the tracking sound coming from the turntable itself, but nothing else.

Help?

I checked the specifications for your amplifier. It only has line level inputs. Are you connecting the turntable to one of those? From your post that seems like what you are doing.

That will not work. You need to use a phono preamplifer with a turntable. Because your amplifer does not have one built in you need to use an external one.
