Man Gold CDs seem like the ultimate in audiophile snakeoil to me. How does the material that the data is printed on make it sound better?
I wouldn't go that far. It all depends on the source tape and mastering. This 1992 DCC Gold CD edition of Court and Spark was mastered by Steve Hoffman from the original master tapes and is probably the best this album sounds.

I mean I got you that usually these were audiophile releases with the mastering to back it up, I just don't think the Gold added anything to the audiophile status other than a way to fetch a premium for the product.

The gold aspect is a marketing tool, but it's a niche product for "audiophiles" who care about audio quality. There are certainly other affordable alternatives for certain titles that would suit the general audience fine.
