Do you turn off your Bryston with your big toe?

Another Bryston innovation: The soft touch button on my 4bsst is the perfect size and shape for this technique. I can't be alone in this one can I?

Big toe is fine, but the second toe works well, too.

one of my spawn once attempted, i told him that if i'd catch him again he'd have to learn to walk all over again. apparently it is very difficult to keep decent balance without toes.

Use of any appendage other than a finger voids the warranty. :lol:

Top this, I can turn off both of my 7's simultaneously and click my heals together before landing squarely on both feet.  Not bad for a 59 year old guy, eh!

Hehe... I do this too  :P Highly recommend the 28B's for their slightly larger power switch  :wink:

The only problem with this technique is that sometimes my toe misses to push the button far enough to make it stick so you have to do it again. However, this sends a huge power rush through the amplifier for a split of a second and then it is switched off again before the second attempt (and power rush) shortly thereafter. So no kidding about the warranty being void if you do it this way  :lol:

Bryston recommends using only a finger   :finger: to turn your gear on and off.  :lol:

I only use the 12v triggers so my Bryston amps remain untouched.  Even the SP 1.7 doesn't get touched - universal remote for that.  I haven't tried using my big toe on my universal.

Based on that physical performance, I believe his meds are already upped!

Do these 'meds' involve any blue pills?

The length of my arm is insufficient to enable me to access the power button from the comfort of my bed. To remedy this defect, my left toe has gradually evolved into a marvelously dexterous and varied appendage.  I can, with one smooth motion of my leg, fire up the rig, flip over some cd's, and twirl over a glass of wine. Meanwhile, my feet have developed powerful muscles for better grip and a tough outer coat to protect against ad-hoc power surges....   

One of the main objections I had with the soft start membrane was that much toe wiggling was required to zero in on the proper spot for firing up the amps.  The square series' button is very toe friendly; there is a large surface contact area between toe and membrane, and the button makes a satisfying click, closing the feedback loop and triggering the toe withdrawal reflex.  Now if Bryston would only fit some proper buttons onto that BCD-1...

No problemo!

My old style "chrome bumper" Naim NAP 250 is on the bottom shelf of my audio rack, just a few inches off the floor.  My big toe works just fine on that big square green backlit on/off button.
