There simply isn't anything that comes close, IMO. When i listen to some of my really good pressings, it feels so real that I get chills down my spine. The in-room presence is uncanny and realism almost scary.
Next is SACD, damn good.
I find redbook and Tidal, almost always, to be very very similar.

Same here - although I don‘t use SACD.
It was all Vinyl and CD for me.
Good pressing Vinyl is still way ahead. But streaming has proven to be a great alternative for CDs - and yes, it did take me a while to accept this.
I am now at a point where I consider ripping all CDs to a NAS and then go with two sources only - Vinyl and Streaming.
