It's really the impedence mismatch due to the outputs seeing each other. 
here's a
reference on how to rectify it.

No.
 
As far as parts go (from another msg where you asked...), I've had good 
luck
buying Neutrik & Switchcraft connectors from Markertek. Prices were better 
then
other places I checked, and depending on how many you need, I believe you 
can get
quantity discounts. I believe their price on Canare wire was a bit lower 
as well,
but it's been awhile since I bought any.
