Gluing cables together is probably not a great idea. Twisting them together could create unpredictable intereaction between them.

What about using spiral cable tidy like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Natural-Spiral-Cable-Wrap-Tidy-Hide-Banding-Loom-PC-TV-Home-Cinema-Wire-/111881365528?var=&hash=item1a0ca62818:m:mKfyutzUtoGPKxU7-H2ty0A Just wind it around the cables once you've postioned them as you want.

Keep mains cables away from signal or (less critical) speaker cables.

Keeping a steady distance between and off ground, some say. Not sure ive noticed much difference with most bar valve amps and phono amps. Some folk were using the little hair grips off of ebay. I was always going to get some, but my cables are a mess andcdecided not to bother

I just keep signal leads away from mains cables and equipment transformers and don't worry about anything else.
