Shorting (muting) SET amplifier output

A SET DC coupled amplifier can produce a turn on
and turn off "thump". I am thinking to put a shorting
relay on the SET output, i.e. across the secondary
of the output transformer. The relay would be on 30 seconds
after power up and immediately after AC power is removed.

I would prefer a shorting relay compared to a series disconnect
relay. Shorting relay is out of the circuit during normal
operation.

Does anybody have experience/warn against shorting/opening short
across SET amplifier output while it is on?
