Very interesting, thanks. Having listened to the ð sound 20 times, I now know I am deaf, whereas I have always thought I had exceptionally sensitive ears.

In Spanish from Spain, we don't have neither palato-alveolar fricative nor affricate voiced sounds: /dʒ/ and /ð/ (just in some areas).

What I'm hearing isn't entirely natural, because by stopping before the vowel I'm turning a plosive into an ejective, but it very definitely has a different frequency distribution.
