Zero sound from new record player setup

I am quite lost on my new setup. I have a Audio Technica LP140XP with a Nagaoka MP-200 connected to a Project DS2 Tube box to a Schitt Audio Lokius Equalizer to a Schitt Audio Freya Plus to two Emotiva HC1 mono blocks connected to two Polk R700 speakers. The speaker wire is 12G with banana deadbolts the rest of the connections are Monoprice RCA except the two XLR Cables that connect the Freya Plus into the mono blocks. I have checked the pathways of in to out several times to make sure all is connected properly and when I go to play a record I get no sound. I am new to this but I am also quite frustrated and confused. Any ideas or direction would be greatly appreciated as my local record store which sells equipment themselves tells me to call Best Buy with all technical questions.

Let's see some pics of your connections. Maybe other eyes might see a mistake or something possibly missing.

Question: Are you using a turntable with a magnetic cartridge?
Does your system have dedicated phono preamp option?
Does everything else work like phone, tape, CD player etc.?

What is the Audio Technica and Nagaoka and Audio Freya plus? Any of these have a built in phono preamp?

The audio technica is the record player, to the project ds2 tube box which is a phono preamp, leading to the schitt lokius which is the equalizer, to the freya plus which is a line level preamp to emotiva hc1 the mono blocks which the out xlr port of the Frey plus connects to the in xlr port on the emotiva hc1. It is then all connected by 12G speaker wire to the speakers from the mono blocks to power them. The record player has no built in preamp. I have nothing else connected to this system except a record player.
