Best cheap integrated amp


I'm looking to minimize my system in retirement, as I find my stereo gets minimal use. I'm looking to buy a NEW integrated amplifier under $500. 
For now I will keep my TT, DAC, and phono preamp. Next I will downsize to smaller speakers. My current system is listed in virtual systems.
Thank you.

OP: I recently bought the Yamaha  60wpc A-S301 for $350 new.  Sounds outstanding and way bigger than 60wpc.  The other two Yamahas mentioned above have slightly more power and supposedly in another league, FWIW. 
Good luck!
whats the difference between the Yamaha 701 and 801 besides the $100 difference?  is it just the USB??
