This should not be necessary. I, in fact, don't tie signal cold to
shield on purpose. So if you forget and leave the phantom power on you
won't short it out. And I never have these problems. I did not even when
I was still using the Telinga with the Stereo miniplug cable.
The problem is almost certainly in the ministereo jack end. Poor contact
between it and the plug.
