Are you using low-mass tonearms?

The SME 3009III has an effective mass of less than 5 grams. It needs a very high-compliance cartridge to work. Are your other tonarms similar?

According to van den Hull's web page, this would produce resonance frequences near or into the audible spectrum. Look at the graph in Appendix 2 and try to figure out where you fall. I'm not sure what the compliance of your Grado is in micronewtons per millimeter, you might have to research that.
