gold? or simply gold coated?

Big difference there. The ONLY possible advantage gold coated can offer on tube pins, RCA cables, or any other electrical connection is corrosion resistance. Personally I would rather remove my tubes yearly to clean and treat all pins and sockets than pay extra for this gold plated gimmick.
Solid gold pins may be another matter, but I would rather have silver or copper. They are better conductors than gold anyway.
