I think this is a mismatch issue

I have had the same problem with my Grado Reference Platinum on an SME 3012R. This arm has an effective mass of 14 grams, which according to the post below, should work fine. It, however, dose not. The cartrige dose work well on my Dual 1019, so I don't think my cartrige is defective in any way. I am currently having Grado adjust it. I'll post the results here. I am dealing directly with Grado (my dealer put me in touch with them) and Grado has been very accomodating.

Interestingly, I have a Grado mono and a Grado 78rpm cart which I use on this arm as well. They both work flawlessly. Go figure.

Sometimes the mono skips around a bit, but then I just clean the record and the problem goes away.
