Well, one thing to be sure is to do one thing at a time, and only one thing. the scientific method is your friend.
I used to have my equipment on the rack arranged so it looked pretty, and I kept the cables organized by keeping them more or less separate, but also neatly arranged.
This led to a hum in my phono preamp as it was too close to the power amp. That was enough motivation to arrange the gear in the proper way for isolation, and I took it to the nth degree when organizing the cables. They don't look very orderly, but no power cable touches a single interconnect or speaker cable, and even the signal cables keep their distance from each other as much as possible.
In your case, I would look to isolate the offending phone and cable lines. Is there a wireless option you may use? Such as coax over power line that may allow you to cut the cable short, before it goes near the audio rack, and then reassemble itself further away in another powerline converter? I used this once for a different purpose and it worked well. A similar thing may be possible with the phone line. Hook up a multiple base cordless unit at the early end of the phone cord, or use another jack in the house?
If that is not possible, can you run the phone or cable lines under a rug, and redirect them?
Can you elevate the audio gear or cables? Perhaps a taller rack? I use some clamps clipped to the back of my rack to help suspend and redirect the cables at different heights.
Hope there are some ideas of value here! By the way, you can post a photo anywhere on the web, and add a link here. Good Luck
