As a newbie, I have a question about what type of connectors to use from my pre/pro to my amp. Am I missing something because I don't see any cable specifically for that from Axiom. Any advice and/or suggestions are appreciated!

Ye olde coax RCA ended cables, unless you're lucky enough to have balanced outputs/inputs on both sides.

Hi Dave, If you feel it necessary to have a specific cable grouping for that purpose, Bluejeans cables offers such an animal. They are a reputable company and make excellent cables. However, 3 or 4 of any of the standard analog RCA cables will do the job just fine for a lot less money. You might want to be sure the cables can be split apart in case that is necessary.

monoprice also has some very very affordable cables with great quality.

I was going to suggest those, Randy, but I'm not sure they can be easily split apart due to what appears to be a strap around the cables a few inches from each end of the cable. Standard cables Premium cables If they can be split apart, or if Dave's installation doesn't require splitting, these would be an excellent, economical choice. Monoprice RCA Audio Cables

If you can, Try and find some affordable cables that have a soldered connection. Ive had cheaper types that were not a solder connection that have had intermittent signal transfer. Namely RS golds. The old version and a much nicer new version which i dont ever see anymore Parts express carries some Acoustic research pro II cables which say they have a twisted pair balanced cable design, Which would be a soldered connection. Vs a coax design which is probably just crimped. They also have some dayton cables which seem pretty reasonable however they look identical to the newer type RS golds i bought minus a ferrite core on one end.

I should have been more clear Jack. I don't use the "standard" type you show above in your first picture. I like a little more insulation and nicer connections. Actually, I usually purchase single cables versus splitting a pair.
