[QUOTE="Jaded Faith, post: 128554, member: 1068"] In short, no they are not worth it. Without going into great detail, gold plating is mostly a marketing gimmick with a few legit benefits. For the sake of your question, just know that gold pins are not most ideal unless the socket they are going into is also gold. Now if you buy tubes from a questionable source and aren't certain to be getting quality tubes, then perhaps they might be worth a little more. Certainly not double though. [/QUOTE]
