my beautiful table isn't behaving after our move

definitely not a loose cartridge lead in that both channels are out. It's not likely the cartridge is at fault either. Time to work backwards from the spekers and make sure each item is working. Does the system work with another source? If so it is not the spekaers or amp although it may be within the switching. When using the turntable do you get any hiss or other noise from the speakers when you turn the volume all the way up? If so it is not in the phono preamp or switching. Check all cables and switches to make sure they are connected sufficiently, in the right places, and that the selector switch is switched to the correct position.

I wonder if there is a cable connection in the arm that is not making contact. What arm do you have on the table? Is there a connection at the bottom of the arm?

I agree that all the cable connections should be verified, especially the phono cables where they plug into the receiver -- make sure they are plugged into the appropriate sockets.

The only other thing I would check is the "Monitor" button on the receiver. It should be out, not in. I believe this button, when in, serves to play whatever is plugged in to the "Aux" sockets. In the old days this would have been a tape player whose output could be monitored by using this button. (This way, you could have played a record with your source selector knob turned to phono mm or mc, and you could check to see how well it had been recorded on the tape by pressing the monitor button.) Since your iPod is plugged into the Aux inputs, it would appear to be working when the Monitor button is pushed in while the turntable would appear not to be working.

The alternative is that something was broken during the move, and you need to get a repairman inside your component(s). Good luck.
