So yes, you can use a different compressor, assuming it meets those specs.
However, I am more curious HOW you have gone through three compressors now, while the VIAIR may not be a workhorse of a compressor, it should last a lot longer then that. Are you running your compressors for extended periods of time without active cooling on them (A fan cooling the compressor head)?
