Hi,

I have a SimAudio I5 integrated amp connected to KEF Q7 Speakers. I
notice that there is a slight hum in one the speakers.

I had auditioned NAD, Rotel amplifiers and did not see any hum from
them. Also, I find the hum is more in the right speaker.

Did you mean no hum from them 'cept the right speaker also?

My source is only a CD players and the hum is there regardless
of whether it is on or off

I see the hum in all of their amps such as I5080, I3

Based on the above, it's likely your amp is alright. Here's some ideas
to you:

I am displeased with Krooborg's sardonic remarks (about your gear), and
I strongly suggest that you ignore his puffed up early droppings. He is
delusional who thinks there are little men inside your speaker.

In any case, you have a splendid amp with taintless reputation:
