I read about that in another thread. But I suspect the difference in sound is probably more due to electrical noise (ground loop noise?) traveling between the units. I tested with a configuration having no trigger / sources from slave, and just connecting the trigger cable in this case already changes the sound. Does it sound better or worse? That's subjective but it certainly sounds slightly different.
In my system I now prefer the sound without the trigger cable connected - it sounds a big bigger and more punchy. With the trigger cable connected, it sounds more even with the soundstage a bit farther back.
