I recently tried to split the output from my tuner to feed both my
Roksan Kandy amplifier and a hard disk recorder. This did not work and
investigation revealed that the amplifier applies a short circuit to
unselected line-level inputs.

Is this usual? Is it likely to be harmful? I am not overly keen on
having a number of outputs, even at line level, working into a short
circuit for extended periods.

It's fairly common to improve the crosstalk figures. Most line level stuff
will be perfectly happy running into a short.
