the article mentions a magnitude boost of 0.20dB with one brand and 0.19dB with another.. does it mean that much equivalent noise was cleaned up (which would be a good thing) or that level can be achieved just by turning the volume nob a couple of notches when using the generic cable itself?

The article says this:

The biggest differences measured were with the two cables that had substantially lower resistance than the others.
