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.

You can get a PS Audio Sprout100 for $699 and sell both your DAC and phono pre to help offset the cost as the Sprout already has both onboard. Doesn’t get much more downsized than that. Best of luck.

Yamaha and Marantz have Integrateds in your price range. My son has the Yamaha S801 and it sounds very good with his Harbeth C7’s.

The Yamaha AS 801 is about 899.00 I believe. The AA 501 is approximately 500.00.

Cambridge Audio has the CXA80 on Ebay quite often at $450.00,
80 watts per ch with a decent DAC.
