I need a 12 v trigger cable that terminates in bare wire (or spades) to connect to the amp that I want to trigger. I can't find any online. Anyone have a link? Thanks much.

    Can you just take a regular cable and make your own, cut the end and either use the bare wires or attach whatever interconnect you'd like?

    I agree with Mike, just buy an 1/8" mono cable, and strip one end to bare wires. Worked fine on my old Rotel.

    I have the 2205A (parasound)....so the trigger only connects to one point on the amp? next to the ground? thanks a lot....

    Yup...just like WilliamM2 posted...once you strip the jacket off of the 1/8" mono cable, you'll see two wires. Twist up each wire and connect on the back of the amp (see lower left hand trigger connections in pic).

    Connect the other end to your pre/pro and make sure the trigger power options are configured in the menu options of your pre/pro.

    Make certain that you purchase a Cardas silver 12-volt trigger cable. <kidding>

    I needed jumpers for my NAD receiver, and I ordered them from NAD at $1.67 a piece (plus 20 bucks shipping). Cardas had upgrades for $80....a pair though! I think......
