Casio objectively, and technically, made better samplers than their small and cheap Casio SK1 - the Casio FZ1 being a great example of this - but to our ears the Casio SK1 just has a special sound and soul to it.
In all its 8 bit/9.38 kHz glory this might be one of the best sounding samplers - do you dare to disagree?
