I pronounce them just like your audio examples and just like everyone else in the United States - with a short-A sound in both. Just like every dictionary says:You can't say "nd" without breaking between the two letters (nnnn..d). So the n goes on the a. And you proved my point for me. Smooth the e out when you do "haend" and you'll get the word eventually. I was just trying to show the vowel sounds are different.
Your mouth changing to pronounce the N does not create another vowel sound. It's not aaaa-ennnn, it's just, aaaan. The "n" is not separate. You don't say, "en" when it follows an "a."
The vowel sounds are not different. I don't know what else I can say to get through to you.
I have isolated the vowel sounds of my audio clips (that you said were legit). If you truly think these sounds are the same I'm not gonna keep arguing with you because you're retarded and stuck in a stubborn mindset and clearly won't be convinced no matter what clear evidence is supplied. Here you go. http://picosong.com/kDZp/
