Well, not speaking for jdaniel, but for myself, I have a very good SACD player (the same one you have) as well as my 2 turntables (one for mono, one for stereo). I have a decent selection if SACDs and a large collection of NM LPs.
When given the choice between LP, CD or SACD, which I do in quite a few cases, I prefer listening to the LP. Yep, some of us actually prefer LP/TT. And it is not due to ignorance or unfamiliarity with the digital alternatives.
As to who is being "deprived," I doubt that you are in a position to measure or judge the amount of enjoyment others receive from listening to music. And that is the only thing that matters -- the enjoyment one receives from listening.
You apparently receive a lot of enjoyment from listening to SACDs. Enthusiasm is great. But please resist the urge to judge or lecture others.
