How much impact one cable on another. depend on the geometry of the cables being used.
Convectional cable geometries i.e. 2 or 3 wires in parallel, are the worst
and having them run in parallel should be avoided
Advanced cables geometries like those from In-Akustic and Nordost are less prone to cable placement issues
I have held one of my turntable cables next to an active power cable in my clenched fist and experienced very little hum with the system turned up to full volume (but not playing)
The other posters are spot on
- Coils should be avoided
- if anything a figure 8 approach is much better than a coil
- keeping cables apart and crossing at as close to 90 degrees is best
Shielding a cable may have some benefit, but it impacts the sound - I prefer unshielded cables
