The character of analog and digital

Americans generally have a very good opinion of Aussies and see them as different from us and certainly not trying to be like us.

This is correct and pleasant and is as it ought to be in western Judeo/Christian culture with shared geo-political alliances.

Then there are times when us Aussies think that Americans are really on another planet and perhaps nobody can quite phrase the feeling as concisely as the Aussie actor Hugh Jackman did here.

One observation I’ve made for many years and even today, is that as volume increases at higher volumes in analog the sound opens up more, whereas in digital it tends to very slightly contract the soundstage.

YMMD

digital imposes more of its character on the music.  

Amen to that. Well said.

I’m American and have never heard Australians described as "Americans in training." Americans generally have a very good opinion of Aussies and see them as different from us and certainly not trying to be like us.

@tomcy6  Aussies beat up on Kiwis and Canadians with underhanded insults as often as they get the opportunity, just in a generally playful manner.

We are saddened to see the Australian government getting a little power hungry and recently treating our Australian friends badly, though.

Aussies still get health care like Canadians, Kiwis and the PoHMs.

The “Americans in training” is basically like calling someone unaustralian.

Which in the “Delhi School of Linguistics” “How to talk Austrians epsiode 2 Grub” youtube video, is summed up at 00:26 in.

I've said it on these pages before that it is a beautiful thing that nobody (exception noted below) who is not Australian can ever come close to naturally speaking the homogenous Aussie accent with its many nuances.

Meryl Streep came very close in the movie Evil Angels.
