I imagine that the stiffer EHS gives a higher tension reading than it
actually is. Perhaps a different scale would be useful. I find the Loos
gauge to be much better than using no gauge, which I what I previously used.

Always wondered how to translate to different cable materials such as EHS?
Or does it not really matter...
