Bent Audioquest Robin Hood banana plugs

2nd ozzy - I would just buy replacement set of bananas and do it myself. No soldering required; it’s a screw down connector. The pressure plus a conductive copper paste (already on there - DON’T clean it off) is what they call the "cold-weld system". It does require decent eyesight and (some) manual dexterity. Yeah the tiny outer case screws can be a pain. Also, the sets aren’t cheap - $200 (msrp) for 4 of the 1000 series.

An attempt with pliers might do the trick. This seems to be pretty common with the bananas being soft copper under the silver. 

I would straighten them out with pliers, insert them and forget about it. 

I also recommend the pliers route - the metal is surprisingly malleable. 

Honestly a bent banana is going to sound the same as a straight one. If you don't mind knowing that it is bent I would do nothing. If visually it annoys you I would straighten it with pliers, putting some fabric between the metal pin and the pliers so you don't scratch it. If you ever sell them I would replace it with a new one first. 

Call Alisdair at AQ and explain the situation. He will give you the best advice.
