Abstract: Let $J$ be a Jacobi matrix defined in $l^2$ as $Re W$, where $W$ is a unilateral weighted shift with nonzero weights $\lambda _k$ such that $\lim _k \lambda _k = 1.$ Define the seqences: $\varepsilon _k:=  \frac{\lambda _{k-1}}{\lambda _k} -1,$ $\delta _k:= \frac{\lambda _k -1}{\lambda _k}, \, \, \eta _k:= 2  \delta _k + \varepsilon _k.$ If $  \varepsilon _k    =  O(k^{-\alpha})   ,   \,   \,   \eta _k   = O(k^{-\gamma}), \, \, \frac{2}{3}< \alpha \leq \gamma, \, \, \alpha  + \gamma > 3/2 $ and $\gamma  >  3/4$, then $J$ has an absolutely continuous spectrum covering $(-2,2)$. Moreover, the asymptotics of the solution $Ju  =  \lambda  u,  \, \lambda \in  \mathbb{R}$ is also given.
