If it's the connector I'm thinking of, you're looking for a "quick connect" (AKA "QC") terminal, or "spade lug."

If your preamp has that captive thumbnut, you'll probably need a forked one, like this, because you won't be able to get a ring over it:

You can get them from your average hardware store or auto parts place, usually in a kit with the special pliers that are required to install 'em.

If it's not the connector I'm thinking of, you're going to need to post a picture.
