Plus I don't like the gold.

Victor, what kind of issues have you experienced with the gold plating?
Thanks.
Peter
In connectors gold should be used only with gold. Using a gold-tin pair creates very bad corrosion. You are far better off using tin to tin. This gold plating is just for looks.
Interesting, thank you. So, do I correctly understand that the pins on most octal-base tubes are tin plated?I found the following related document.

Point #7 specifically talks about it.
The high-end audio obsession with gold is nothing but silly. It looks good... that's about it.
As far as I know, most octal tube pins are indeed tin plated.
