We report an experimental demonstration of signal amplification for a superfluid 4He interferometer by allowing the matter waves from two Josephson mass current sources to interact with the resonances within the experimental cell. We characterize the interferometer using an external phase shift and demonstrate a 30-fold enhancement in intrinsic phase sensitivity. We also demonstrate a truly continuous operation of this interference device.
