Could the IC-based, 1980s-vintage preamplifier to which you refer by any chance have been the one made by Infinity, with the slider tone controls on the front panel? It was the darling of the HP Audio World for a short while. I owned one, briefly. Solid state is about the only way to achieve a direct-coupled phono stage, unless you use a tube-based circlotron, a la Atmas-phere, or some solid state buffer after a tube circuit, I guess. (There may be other ways to do it, of course, with which I am not familiar.)
You don't see any conflict between your here recommending the lowest possible bass cut-off in a phono or linestage and your practice of choosing cathode bypass capacitor values without regard for the optimal capacity to pass bass frequencies, at the input of an amplifier?
