un-screwing acoustic zen cables

My Acoustic Zen interconnects have become impossible to remove from my components! The scew-up end-of-cable plugs just will not un-screw. Every single connection has the same problem. I'm now not sure which way to twist to undo them. I've tried pliars and WD40. Nothing will release them. Any similar experiences? Any ideas on how to take off the cables?

I've had so much trouble, the sockets on the pre-amp and CDP are becoming loosened from the cabinet - and one has been damaged :(

Thanks for any help!

The connectors work fine. You just have to be careful not to over tighten them. It is actually pretty easy to do. Try moving the cable a little when you try getting them off. It has to be exactly straight. If you've been turning them the wrong way and tightning them---well, good luck! I know these suckers can redefine locking if they get too tight.
I have done this a few times because the cable had the connector in a little bind. You couldn't tell how tight they were.
