You aren't going to get any signal out of that as it's wired.

Solved the distortion on the left channel however when the needle is not down and I turn the volume up there is hum and interference. Please advise!

If you play a record at this level, is it unlistenably loud? 

I notice that there are six 0.001uF caps in your build, what are they for?

Wow! Went happy on the zeroes, it should be 3x0.01! Thank you!

I added 2x0,01, huge improvement! how high can i go with the value of that capacitor?

If this is suppose to be the 0.03uF capacitor in the RIAA EQ, you can go as low as 0.029uF and as high as 0.031uF.
