I think you might be wrong here. Many top wheel builders do not use tension meters, or use them as I do, as a cross check of their sense of feel. Some of those take pride on their non-reliance on tension meters. A skilled builder will produce an evenly tensioned wheel the same way top builders always have, using reliable methodology coupled with good feel, born of experience.
It's skill, not better tools that makes for the best wheels.
