So, you do feel that Dutch is different from English (or, say, German)
in this respect, without any instrumental phonetics?
I know that the difference of Russian voiceless stops from English ones
is very prominent for my Russian ear; but OTOH, initial voicedness isn't
subject to any important dialectal variation within the East Slavic
continuum, compared to the Dutch - Low German one...
