Is it fine to bunch together power wires?


When organizing your equipment do you bunch together all or as many as you can of the power cords as possible?

Damn, I’ve been doing it wrong for all my life!  LOL

Now, I don’t even know where to begin by organizing mine again. 

I recently bought Furman Elite PF20i and I did notice an improvement in the sound. I still combined and routed as many power wires as I could. UGH!
Alright, I want to see how audiophiles organize theirs. 
I’m not going to the extreme of the system posted above because my OCD would not allow that kind of chaos. 🤪
I’d like to see some ideas for cable managment for audiophiles that don’t have spread out equipment like the one above. 

My equipment is inside a BDI credenza cabinet. 
Do you want shielded power cables or unshielded?

If shielded power cables ultimately eliminate the issue then shielded would be the best for an audiophile, correct?
Then I could bunch them all tougher. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Thank all of you guys/gals for your input. Although I have a nice system and do hear subtle tweaks that I do but never tried keeping my power cords independent as possible. 

There is an art to doing the current way I have mine now, but going from now to what I have been reading here will take even MORE artistic ability. 

Something I may have to draw out on paper before I even begin. Everything goes into play with where each component sits to how long a power cord is to space in the cabinet. 

I've got lots of work to do but and the best thing about this is that...in general the costs should be FREE! YAY! 

Hopefully unless I need to buy a longer cable or something!!!
