...and an incredible phonostage it is . HiFi World magazine's reference phonostage and my own.
However the OP says " I am getting into a MC cartridge and I am looking to avoid using an SUT or a head amp if possible. " The PS3 achieves its gain by using an SUT (100 ohm fixed) for MC albeit built in.
It also comes in two boxes and needs a lot of real estate and is all tube (so at least the latter feature removes the OP's concern about ICs, it doesn't even have a circuit board being all point to point wired).
It is also not exactly cheap by the general standards here especially if the OP is "just getting" into MCs - $4k plus depending upon features chosen. NB: I highly recommend the Designer's Edition with better tubes and Jensen caps, adds £300 here in its UK home so I presume more than just equivalent $ in the US.
