Well a friend was kind enough to lend me his expensive studio monitors (Fostex PM-2), and,
listening to my mixes on them, they sound like ass. Sure enough, there are tons of
problems in the high-midrange region that my crappy headphones and Cambridge SoundWorks
home stereo just were not turning up. So I've been spending the last few days
re-EQ'ing, re-compressing, and re-leveling.
If I had enormous amounts of money laying around, I'd probably invest in some
Ultrasone headphones and some KRK monitors.
Thanks to everyone for their advice and ideas. Still haven't decided what to do
regarding mastering, but leaning towards just getting something going in JAMIN for now and
maybe remastering later on if we make enough money to justify it.

you simply can't be making this kind of
assumption, i claim. a good
mastering job makes sure that it sounds OK on *all* likely listening
systems.
According to my supervisor at the time I was doing mixes
all days, it was *my* job to ensure things sounded well
on all kind of systems and at all levels. And doing it
while mixing gives you a lot more freedom to do it right
than trying to 'fix' a stereo signal.
