I've read various points of view from don't do it to it's OK.But I don't recall ever reading a 100% definitive answer
So does anyone know the real answer?
Thank you

I think the people that say "don't do it" may be concerned about the
dissimilar metals being in contact with each other and what problems that
might cause. The issue shouldn't be any different from other socket types
that use something other than tin for the contacts.

Harry,

Unless it is the machined pin sockets which exclude air, the "don't do
it" folks win.
Elecraft had problems with that in the K3 which lead to them sending
many gold-plated pins out for replacement.
