Idle speed without tach??

What is the best way to set the idle speed if you dont have a tach? Ive heard it so many different ways I cant tell anymore how it should sound. So besides just listening or buying a tach what the best way?

I dont know myself. I think its just and instinct thing if you dont have any way to measure it.

Set the idle speed high enough that it shifts into gear easily, but not so high that it grinds when it goes in gear.
