I once read somewhere about a guy who drained a can of tuna juice on his records and then let his cat lick them off!!! He reported excellent results when using tuna packed in spring water. ;^)
Just having a little fun.
Many old pressings are dynamic as hell and sound beautiful with exception to an over abundance of pesky surface noise. Unfortunately, it is (sometimes), what it is.
Have you considered that it may have to do with your decks bearing and/or its tonearm/cartridge set up? I know this idea will drive you crazy but since upgrading my platter bearing (overall improvement on all records) and then my cartridge (specific improvement on replay of old vinyl) surface noise wise, I have found we blame the records individually when (for me) more times than not, it is the inability of the deck to transcribe. I've listened to many decks with the same pressings over the years and found a world of difference in their ability to pull the music out of the surface noise.
In other words; lost in translation.
Happy Listening!
