Now you are changing the subject.

Subject:

Simple question, or is it...

What exactly is an audio signal made of, and what exactly is the medium it travels through in a cable??

Next you will be changing the subject to fuse directionality.

>>>>>I didn’t change the subject. The simple case of a fuse is a good opportunity or someone to explain the electric signal and how it’s affected by the wire’s physical properties. You can not divorce the cable from the conductor. The fuse is representative of other wires in the audio system. If you feel more comfortable you can use power cord instead of fuse. Pick anything you want. You be the decider. Why dismiss directionality so harshly? Does it make you nervous? All wires are directional. Agree/disagree?

You now understand it?

It was only a matter of time before somebody name-dropped “Maxwell’s equations” to support his argument. Just as predicted yesterday. Beautiful! It was bound to happen sooner or later. Don’t you see 👀 the wave is not the energy? Hel-loo! That’s why it matters what the conductor is made of, no? If the signal was outside it who would care what the conductor is made of? Why aren’t you still scratching your head? 🤔 The Characteristics of the signal determine the characteristics of the energy, no?  The E and M fields don’t just pop up by themselves.
