Sure, add 20-30g to whatever you use now and you and then your Grado will become useable. I have seen in past that some Morons who put their ignorant opinions in a position to shaping the public knowledge (they called reviewers) have written that Grado cartridges require anb ultra light arm.  Ironically John Grado never objected it or corrected them. My initial reaction was that John is as clueless as a regular audio publication BS-writer but when I spoke with John he ask me: “What do you want form me – the contemporary industry unfortunately manufacture juts light arms. Do you want me to suggest to my customers the arms that they would not be able to find?” Anyhow, John Grado defiantly know what is going on but like anything else in audio – has his voce completely lost in the ocean of the BS expressed by the marketing fools. A few months ago I was visiting a guy who juts bought his new Graham tonearm for many thousands dollars. To listen this thing was imposable as this light arm floating in Vaseline sounded like a topping the belly of my Cat after she juts drank water. I suggested him to load this thing with at least 25g of extra mass. Instead, he grabbed from  his desk a review of some kind of reviewer-idiot and read to me that in the room of that reviewer his Graham 2.2 (that Graham gave to this reviewer as a free gift) sounded so wonderful that it’s sound was able to permanently cure the reviewer grandmother’s Parkinson Disease. What I am trying to say that in context of contemporary industry a manufacture himself no mater what he thing and feel about his product has no way to pass his message to the consumer as the message got completely overwritten but the marketing idiots. So, do you have to mass load your Grado? Probably, but not because I said so. Better would be to read the publications’ recommendations and  …. to do opposite. Until you get your own sense of what it right and wrong it would be good guideless…
