But then it gets worse dramtically, the Speakers Corner Deccas are foggy and really bad compared to original Deccas. But their vinyl is silent.
Wll, I have my theory about the silent play of contemporary vinyl. Did anyhow pay attention that the contemporary is more oily then the vintage vinyl. Sure the contemporary is might be better in quality but it also it feels like has less traction with vinyl by virtue of being more slippery. If you take some fat or oil – starting from the anchovies grease and ending with LAST and use it on the vintage records then you will have similar silence but anything else will be much worse. So, is the contemporary vinyl just “better” or juts more greasy?

I would say, when I have the choice between a super expensive modern cartridge and listening to modern Reissues and on the other side I have a 900$ Pick up with originals I wouldn‘t hesitate 1s to go for the last.
Excellent observation!
