Serious question, do you still use a spoke tension meter?
I dropped about $120 on a Park Tool TM-1 a few years back when I was trying to get really good at wheel builds... It felt like a big step up from just plucking spokes. Honestly, it mostly sits in my box now unless I'm doing a full rebuild. For most truing jobs, I just go by feel and sound, which I learned from an old timer at a shop in Portland. Anyone else find they moved away from using one after a while?

Going by feel and sound" is how you end up with a wheel that goes out of true fast.
