They are rated at a maximum (current, minimum load resistance) and don't care in the slightest if they are not loaded at all, a few k ohms might (very very very much might if the following bit of kit is DC coupled to the input and has a huge input resistance) be useful. And do you use 30 (or is that 33) ohm cable?

Exactly, MM! So Refugee... why load your outputs? It's like saying, the mains cable to all the lights in my house is rated at 3A, therefore I must fit a 750W bulb in every socket!
