Hey, this thread is about 9 years old ah! But I am still here ��
I sold my cables about 4 weeks ago. the plastic pins are molded into the connector itself I believe. Only way to remove it would be to cut it and file it down cleanly.
About 2 years ago, the tech who refurbished my amplifier (45 years experience) told me that these pins were there to prevent sagging on the cables. Maybe the safety concerns were more specific to Germany and Europe as a whole I guess.
