Lip Sync Issues Possible Fix

When I first initially set up my Kaleidescape system (Strato C with 6 TB Compact Tera) I was having an issue with the audio and video not being synced. All other sources were perfectly synced. I figured if I adjusted the delay on my processor to sync up the audio and video for my Kaleidescape, it would throw off everything else. After playing around a little bit, I reduced the delay and noticed, the audio and video for all my other sources remained in sync, while the Kaleidescape was being predictably adjusted. I even ran a sync test video on youtube through my Nvidia shield pro, and as I adjusted the audio delay, I noticed the video also moving around to match the audio, so I wasn't really even able to throw off the sync.
Fast forward a bit, Audioguy was having the same issue and switched out his HDMI cable. He told me he noticed a big improvement, so I went ahead to try the same thing. During the process, I learned to not use an HDMI cord less than 6 feet in length. I can't explain the technical reasons why, but I noticed the supplied HDMI cable was more like 3 feet. I have no idea if that's what made the difference or not, but switching to a Monoprice 6 foot HDMI cable, completely fixed the issue for me. I have a Trinnov Altitude 16 processor and so does Audioguy.
Just wanted to report my findings in case anyone else has a similar issue. Give the HDMI cable a shot. It completely cured the issue for me.

Yes, we do that in all our installs. Signal strength can get too low when the cable gets too long, but it can also overshoot if the cable is to short.
Sounds a bit odd to use a cable 6ft cable if devices are sitting right next (or on top) of each other, but it helps to get a system stable.
However, i never heard it helps with audio-delay issues.
