The 5LE need long break-in, IMHO. They really did not come into their own for me until after 200 hours. So before you a/b, make sure the 5LE are delivering at full capacity. : )

I'm a new HE-500 owner but my early impressions have me thinking maybe the 5LE is a better match for my tastes.
Does the HE-5LE use a different driver than the HE-500 or is it simply a matter of different "tuning?"
Do most of you use beefy head amps or speaker taps? If speaker taps, can you direct me someplace for a quick education on them? I have a powerful vintage Carver Receiver that I currently use but I don't know the specs on the headphone jack...

I use very powerful amp from EarStream, nbew company from Poland. Its called Sonic Pearl and its great and very transparent audio device.

Its so powerful that I listen to HE5LE at 9 oclock through CD player and 10-11 is more then loud. My friend uses it with HE6. So I think those speaker amps for Hifimans are exaggerated
Your "friend" uses the HE-6 on what? I can tell you as an owner of the HE-6, Speaker amps are not exaggerated. I use duel 300 watt mono blocks for my HE-6 rig. You have to listen to be in the know. If you haven't heard you have no idea.
Jesus are you serious dude? Thats nuts.
I am looking for a pair of Kora Titan monoblocks to drive my HE-6. : }
