Does anyone know how to remove the black round DUST CAPS that plugged in the Marantz amp's speakes connectors? These plastic caps are ridiculously flushed in the speakers connectors and there are no grip to pry or pop them out. I need to use my banana spk cables. Please help
Thread a small screw in few turns and pull. Also, you can pry them out with a needle. Doesn't matter if you ruin them as they will never go back in. They should come out very easily.
take a single edge razor blade and wedge it between the plastic and the metal connector. Work it back and forth, then twist to pop it off. A thin knife edge will work too.
I think I just remembered how I got them out. Try spinning the binding post nuts all the way counter clockwise until they actually come off. They won't be flush anymore and will no problem to pull with your fingers. If that doesn't work, just find a way to rip them out. You really can't hurt anything.
