My goodness... look at the bottom of those quotes. If Mr Orban, himself, says 
that it sounds good... what more endorsement does one need?

Trust me, there are plenty of AM enthusiast hams who would *pounce* on units 
like this! (I would, too!)

They could also be used as "safety limiters" on the inputs to audio cards, or 
STL's. They are not useless. Properly adjusted, and used in the right places, 
they are still very useful.

To quote Geordi from Star Trek, while speaking to Scotty:
"Just because something's old doesn't mean you throw it away."
