Mine did as well. Even had someone get really bent out of shape about it, which made the prof needle him with sarcasm for the rest of the semester. We'd be talking about attenuation in data busses and he'd find some way to mention hooking up headphones to a MHz or GHz signal to hear the color tones.
Can't do that shit anymore. Someone might get their feefees hurt.

The only hobby that I'm aware of that attracts more drug addict conspiracy theorist living in basements and middle aged white men with 6-7 figure incomes than audiophilia is aquariums.
I knew a guy that sold stuff to audiophiles. The peak audiophile product was him taking those extra flat decorative glass marbles you put in aquariums, giving them a decent scuffing with extra coarse grit sandpaper, and putting a few of them in a cheap wooden box with slots he carved with a dremel for each marble. He sold them as frequency filter sets for some made up wave type that you could put in your speakers.
>Effectively telling audiophiles to put rocks in their speakers
>Charge 250 dollars per marble
>MFW he had people spend over 2000 dollars to get a full set for their 7.1 system
>MFW he had people come back for more to further enhance their new system that had multiple speakers in each enclosure
>MFW he had people ask him if he could make special ones for their headphones.
He also sold wooden spacers for keeping your cables off the floor and had people request custom ones all the time. People actually believed that different types of wood impacted their sound. I wish I could make this shit up.
