Do "gold" discs sound better?

I know HDCD, DVD-A, and SACD sound superior to the standard CD but how much better, if any, are the gold discs or the other "fancy" discs? Thanks.

But both Celitc66 and Garfish are right, what really matters is the mastering and the quality control of the manufacturing. KP
