If you haven't got the experience, haven't got the ear and can't afford the tensiometer - then I'd say you're all out of luck.
I guess that if you're really stubborn you could bodge up some sort of rig that'd allow you to hang 100-something kilos from a spoke to allow you some sort of vague comparison.
