Not in my experiance.
At times it was a little better, but then VHS would add
their next improvement and catch up. S-VHS at it's best,
was on par or better than anything Sony did with BetaMax.

To say BetaMax was "measurably better" than VHS would be OK,
but to call it "far superior quality than VHS" is a stretch.
