can you (or anyone else too) tell about the speakers that you are using for the ultrasonic tracks?
If I listen to ASC ocean surf with my headphones, I feel a difference after only 30 min, but nothing noticable with the speakers (ultrasonic). I use Creative A60, and they actually fill the requirements (max: 20 kHz). I really want to have speakers I know are working before starting a big program (I want to start with Alpha11 as soon as possible).
I use the speakers on my laptop. That said, I have a high end laptop and I bought the pest audio system I could for it. It's 4 years old, and I don't remember the specs, but it works just fine. I do recall that it was $1,650 when I bought it, and it is not a Mac. In other words, it's a very high end laptop that can still hold its own today, although it's no longer at the top of the heap.
The effect you describe appears to be explained by the theory that the louder the ultrasonic subliminal is, the faster and more obviously it works. This is also seen clearly with the use of the Type A subliminals. Using it on speakers just isn't getting the same volume apparently, or the same effective volume, since headphones sit right on your ears.
That said, it is important to remember that ultrasonics are sound and too loud a sound can cause problems. Be advised that I recommend against using headphones with ultrasonics. You'll find some useful threads in the FAQ section.
