 Also, don't use headphones unless you mean the results to be heard that
 way. I don't know the psychoacoustics, but a good headphone mix seems to
 sound too wet on speakers.

In my recording experience (last album project in '93, and yes, I realize that the recording business has changed drastically since then!), we always did the final mixdown on the highest quality speakers, but then checked it through cheap speakers to see what it sounded like on more realistic setups. (I think they were Auratone, although the engineers called them "Awfultone"!) We never mixed with headphones, but I wonder whether folks nowadays might do just that for the iPod market?
