I've been using the paraliminals myself over the past few weeks, and agree that they are good meditation tapes. They do produce the desired effect that they are supposed to. However, I am not sure if the binaural beat technology in the Holosync tracks work.

I used to be a Sonar Technician in the Navy, and while I was tracking a submarine rather than a Stradivarius, I was staring at harmonics for days on end. I could actually see the frequencies on my scope, and when the primary frequency changed, the harmonics would change in exaggerated proportion. 204Hz lines would have multiples at 408 and 816. When the primary frequency went up to 206Hz, the others would go up to 412 and 824. Ofttimes we would watch the larger harmonics closely to check for a very small change in the base frequency.

Again, I am not knocking the Paraliminal recordings. I have the whole set, and I listen to them daily. However, if I understand binaural beats properly, you do need a clean sine wave for them to work. Voices, musical instruments, ocean waves, etc, while they may sound nice when frequency shifted, I am not sure if they have the brain entrainment affect that a sine wave would. But hey, I like the Paraliminal tapes, they work, so who cares how or why they work. This thread was started initially asking which binaural beat technology worked the best, and I was trying to answer it.
