HiFiJim,
It's slow. Not as slow as a PS3, but not as fast as a dedicated CD player. It has a lot of possible info to interpret before it starts doing its thing.

I've had the BDP-83 for 3 weeks now.
I'm very happy with the unit. It plays everything.
I ordered mine directly from OPPO. $518 delivered. Ordered on Tuesday afternoon,
arrived Thursday morning.

p.s. Yes, I played Moody Blues.
I have the 52725. You're right it is an easy maint project with amazing results.
Just don't use alcohol on the mirrors. They are silvered on the topside, as opposed to your
bathroom mirror.
