So you have the active version? I thought the active version always kept the vipraplane perfectly tuned and level and the compressor turned on and off as needed? If you have the version that you manually adjust the height on then you can just use a hand pump. I use a bicycle pump on mine. It gets slightly out of adjustment within a week or so and takes about a minute to pump back up and adjust.
Best Vibraplane Compressor Substitute?
Just bought a 20 x 24" Vibraplane to use under my TT, and am very excited.
It comes without a compressor and I wonder if there's any reason to spend a lot of money, just for 'hot air'? (couldn't resist)
Really, is there any justificaton for an expensive compressor? The bladders on the item are purported to be sound, and if they're not I will replace them myself. The compressor will only come on as needed: I can 'top off' the machine before listening and disconnect it. The VP is not going to need air during a two or three hour session, certainly.
My thought is to buy a relatively inexpensive unit, and proceed as above.
I would appreciate your suggestions, and thank you in advance for sharing your experience.
Best,
David
