Of course you can hear the difference, usually the (perhaps superior) analog 
recording is accompanied by lots of crackles and hiss ;-)

Seriously though, perhaps not with your 25.99 record deck+amp+speakers from 
Argos, but if you spend a few hundred quid on each component (deck, amp, 
speakers) you will be *really* surprised how different it sounds to CD.  I 
did just this a few months back when my dad got down his old deck and tidied 
it up, we had a few records that we also had on CD.  Whilst it was hard to 
say which was "better" or "worse", there was definitely a very noticeable 
difference in the sound "feeling".  Maybe the CDs just had more compression 
(of the dynamic range variety) I don't know.
