Hello
I just purchased a kenwood turntable w/sme 3009 tonearm..my question is when playing there is hardly any sound, I've tried 2 different preamps and installed a new shure cartridge. I would appreciate any help Thanks

Could be you are using a lower output cartridge that your phono section does not have enough gain..........Possibly a M/Coil cartridge and you phono section is only capable of High output M/M cartridges.............
I suppose its very possible the internal tonearm connections have worked loose,,..Anything is possible while if the turntable was shipped to you.. I had an issue awhile back similar and found that the tonearm wire I ( internally ) was almost totally broken away from the connection..Once I re-soldered it back on it was fine..
