John,
As long as you use a good socket, there should be no adverse effects -
all the signals operate near DC or very low frequencies. Long term
there is always more of a chance for oxidation between the chip leads
and the socket than with a properly soldered-in chip, so you may want to
re-seat the chip every 2 to 3 years just to wipe away any possible
oxidation - it really depends on 'the air you breathe' how rapidly
oxidation can develop - the coastal salt air seems to accelerate it.

If I install an IC socket for U2 on my KPA100, will there be any adverse
effects? Don't ask why I would want to do this. I would have to admit to more
than the usual stupidity.
